I wanted to buy gold last year when it was around $1250, it looked like a bottoming formation and I wanted it as a long term investment either way. Amost bought 10k worth but it was too much hassle to prove my residence. Could have used my parents residence and bought it through them but oh well. Obviously regretting I didn't go through the hoops to buy it now.

Do you have any long term investments or do you just trade?

Naa, I don't have any physical gold bullion. It's just too much of a worry/cost to store properly. This is why I've never understood people that say they're all in on Gold, but won't give Bitcoin the time of day. It has a place as a store of value for ease of storage and transfer alone.

I do have some physical silver, mostly in pre-decimal Aus coins, but that's more of a little nerdy hobby than an actual investment. Day trading is my bread and butter. Just all short term risk management based trades that I quickly move on from.
